Not a long ago, when we started talking about small cells, the first question we would always hear was “why do we need small cells, when we have Wi-Fi?” But that has rapidly evolved into “how can we ensure that the interworking between 3G/4G and Wi-Fi is robust and seamless?”

The interworking becomes even more crucial considering the looming 1000x challenge, in which Qualcomm envisions dense deployments of small cells, most of which are integrated with Wi-Fi.

Happy Earth Day!

Did you know that today marks the 43^rd anniversary of what many consider the founding of the modern environmental movement? On April 22, 1970, nearly 20 million Americans held coast-to-coast rallies in support of Mother Nature.

We’re in an age when smartphone users are not only expecting, but demanding a more personalized mobile experience with hyper-relevant content. Today, I’m proud to say that we are continuing to make mobile context-awareness a reality through cooperation between Qualcomm Labs and Factual.

I’ve never actually created a bucket list, but if I had, speaking at TEDMED would be close to the top. What an honor to be invited to participate in TEDMED 2013 at The Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, April 16-19, 2013.

At its core, TEDMED is a celebration of human achievement and the power of connecting the unconnected in creative ways to change our world in health and medicine. I’ve been asked to do my part by participating in an entirely new type of TEDMED session.
